About the Presenter Coralie Laurence:

Born and raised in Béziers, a small city in Languedoc (South of France) and the largest wine production area in the world, I grew up in the middle of the vineyards as my grandfather was a winegrower.

From sweet memories of sharing “goûter” with my cousins at my grandparent’s house and waiting for my grandfather to bring us the fresh pressed grape juice from the daily harvest, to fun and painful days spent harvesting grapes by hand when teenagers and witnessing my grandfather work very hard, I developed a strong passion for wine from a young age.

Following 6 years in the wine business in France I moved to the USA in 2014 to marry a US Army Veteran from New Jersey and was lucky to be able to pursue a career in the US wine industry.

Today, on top of being a proud Mama of an almost one year old little girl, I am a Sales Regional Manager for MR a TOUTON SELECTION, a family owned importer based out of NYC. I am so happy to share my passion with people across the country.
